I am 64 and I have seen the majority of who would be considered to be the best guitarists live No need to name them He is the best If you play the guitar and you are young you can try to aspire to him but !!!!! If you are old and play the guitar it’s just like “ give up” I ha be seen Joe all over the world for 18/20 years and tonight it was incredible

We had the privilege of attending an exceptional concert at the legendary Royal Albert Hall that transcended mere musical performance. Gregory Porter delivered a performance of remarkable emotional power. From the opening notes, a gentle energy enveloped the atmosphere, creating an enchanted interlude for the audience. Gregory Porter performed his greatest hits and punctuated the evening with Christmas tunes that added a special dimension to the concert. Through his presence, kindness, and gentleness, Gregory Porter managed to convey a sense of peace and well-being, particularly welcome in these particularly stressful times. Each musician shone with remarkable virtuosity, establishing a perfect symbiosis between the instruments. The saxophonist and pianist distinguished themselves exceptionally. The passion emanating from their performances was palpable, quickly resonating throughout the hall. The impeccable sound quality of the venue contributed to creating an immersive atmosphere, plunging the audience into the heart of the musical magic. In summary, this evening was an extraordinary experience that will be etched in our memories as an unforgettable moment, attesting to the exceptional artistic talent of Gregory Porter and its profound emotional impact."

Amazing! The Royal Albert Hall is a great venue, Ed was GREAT (as always, I’ve been to many of his concerts) and all in all a great night. Can’t say Bess Attwell inspired me much and wasn’t sure they were the best opening act he could have chosen (didn’t really get the crowd going, very singer-songwriter). I went in not knowing it would be the last time the album was played in full (that weekend was the only time, the Saturday and then this concert) but being there for that felt really special. So happy he played some other songs too and got us on our feet, I was exhausted by the end, exhausted but so so happy. Well done Ed. For a first solo show at the Royal Albert Hall, you should be very proud indeed

The band were in fine form and the orchestra allowed the album to be played as it should be heard. The only drawback was that we were sat to the side of the stage and had a spotlight constantly in our eyes which meant we couldn't see most of the band. We got moved to a new seat for the second half of the concert. Would have been 5 stars otherwise.

I’ve seen Echo and the Bunnymen more times than I can count , always brilliant - but this one was special ! I’ve never watched a show in the Albert Hall before and it was epic ! The whole band were on top form and the acoustics in that place are just incredible , seeing the band with the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra was amazing , I actually cried . Amazing to see Ocean Rain but the other set with all the faves was immense ! I couldn’t stay in my seat for Never Stop ( apologies to the people behind me) but you just have to lay down thy raincoat and groove to that one 🤷🏻‍♀️ What a night ! I don’t usually buy VIP tickets because we can’t really justify the expense , but I’d have sold my soul to the devil to see that show , it was money very well spent ! I didn’t think anything would top hearing The Killing Moon whilst being able to see the actual moon at Anfield last year when they supported the Rolling Stones — The Bunnymen continue to amaze me at every show I see , I’m not adding photos because I was so mesmerised my phone didn’t come out of my bag 😀 and that my friends , it the measure of an amazing show !

It was the night before my birthday and 40 years since I'd first seen the Bunnymen at The Royal Albert Hall. As a 12 year old insane.and danced all night, last night I sang a d sat down a lot. They were brilliant, sublime!, the best they've sounded for a long time. Ian was on good form, Will wore a tie for the Ocean Rain set, a packed Albert Hall lapped.it up. No flashy light show, minimal backdrops, just a band, one of the finest the musical world has witnessed. The first set was just.perfect, a combination of early classics and newer songs. Ocean Rain was majestic, it sounded far superior to the last orchestra tour, it was flawless, I was surrounded by happy smiling faces, old and young fans United in appreciation. The final three set encore was the perfect send off, The Cutter, my favourite song since it was released rounded my night off perfectly. Happy Birthday me and thank you Echo And The Bunnymen, and the Royal Albert Hall.

Dermot Kennedy was EXTRAORDINARY! Communion Music and Sounds of Solidarity, Turkey and Syria Fundraiser at the Royal Albert Hall benefit performance on April 15, 2023 was no exception. First, he sang For Island Fires and Family a cappella. Each of the 5,000+ in attendance were silent, perhaps frozen by the beautiful sounds. I held my breath for what seemed like the entire 5 minutes and 92 seconds of that melodic love poem to the Aran Islands of Ireland. He continued the performance with a song he rarely performs; A Killer Was A Coward. This song is a die hard Dermot Kennedy fan favorite. Needless to say, the devoted fans, as well as, the brand new fans in this historical venue realized quite quickly the magnitude of this moment. Each audience member seemed to met this moment with silent respect and reverence. Next, he sang his autobiographical An Evening I will Not Forget. This song is what I would consider an introduction to Dermot Kennedy himself. In other words, you must know this preface song to truly understand the rest of the artist’s story. The way he presented this song was outstanding especially considering how many times he has performed it. The song was as if it was brand new. I felt every word and I felt every emotion. He designed the next song, Dreamer around his love for someone very special. Prior to the song, he stated that it is the little things in life and in love that matter, not necessarily the grand gestures, but instead just ‘showing up' for the one you love that truly makes a difference. The poignant song was delivered with authority and a simple beauty that can only be described as a tender love letter to the listener. The final performance of the 5 song set was the emotional ballad Innocence and Sadness. The song reflects on the loss of youthful innocence and wonder when age and responsibility mysteriously take over. Dermot provided this piece of art to the listeners at an emotional expense to himself. It was clear through his body language and micro expressions that this piece of music and poetry is privately important to his own soul and yet the yearning to share that importance with the audience was extremely profound. I have been a fan of Dermot Kennedy for years and seen countless soul moving performances- but this one poignant night provided me with an unmatched experience that will live on in my memory as one of the best nights of music ever. It was pure magic. - Meredith

Possibly the best gig I have ever been to. SoH are always good, but this was on another level, bringing a bunch of guests in, such as Johnny Khalsi and Track Dogs (plus a tap dancer. Yep) Everyone played off brilliantly, and it’s hard to find a high point, but Cormac Byrnes manic grin, and epic wordless bhodran playing is an image that imprinted on my mind. This is the seventh and last Kensington Village Hall concert, and I am glad I managed to catch at least one.

Slow start, can't say Slow Pulp did much for me. Also DCFC didn't get going for several songs. Black Sun got things going for me, still seems a pretty optional subject for Ben Gibbard. The highlight for me was a solo acoustic rendering of the emotional "I will Follow you" from Plans... breathtaking. That song alone was worth the ticket price. Finished strongly with plenty more classic tracks. The only flaw, and this is just personal, but Ben's jiggling about on stage out of time with the music detracted at times for me - much more powerful when he stood still and let the music do the job as in his acoustic set .

They didn’t come on stage until after 10pm, which seemed quite late given the advertised start time of 7:30pm (or 6:45pm when we bought the tickets). Would have been helpful for those of us travelling into London if more info had been shared in advance about the schedule. We enjoyed the support act Honey Glaze, we actually preferred them to Wet Leg in the end. I didn’t enjoy the other support act, CMAT… (but bafflingly lots of the crowd seemed to enjoy her show).

Had a good evening at this ONO show at the Royal Albert Hall. After being a fan of 5SOS for over ten years, getting to see them play this iconic venue in a new way, performing with a live orchestra and choir which they have never done before was a unique and fun experience. I couldn’t believe how close my seats were, within six feet of the stage and the constant interactions from guitarist, Michael Clifford made my night. The only disappointment was that we were promised a two hour show and it only lasted around an hour. Also, there was no encore as there usually is at every 5SOS show so this was a great disappointment for a lot of people that attended. I also found the instruments from the band themselves were a little overpowering on the night which made it difficult to actually hear the instruments of the orchestra on the night which is my reason for my 3* rating of this particular show.

What a brilliant evening. A wonderful interview, I could have sat and listened to Nick and Graham chatting all night. Then we spent 45 minutes listening to Pelican West, it sounded like it had just been recorded the day before and not actually 40 years ago! It never ages just like Nick and Graham. What a lovely surprise to have them both play Fantastic Day and Love Plus One. A short question time with the audience too. A splendid evening. Thank you 🥰

So lucky to have seen 5sos on their release show for the new album 5SOS5 (which is AMAZING and you should all listen to it!!). Everything about the show was absolutely perfect, the only thing I would like was for it to have been never ending haha! The atmosphere with all the fans was so amazing, the boys interactions with the crowd was so heartwarming and we really could see how grateful they are, they deserve all the praise they get because wow, they really can put a show on! 5sos are worth every penny live <3 33

Absolutely the greatest concert ever! Loved every minute of our night with The Beach Boys at The Royal Albert Hall in London!! Fabulous build-up purchasing some merchandise and mingling with the hundreds of fans enjoying their refreshments prior to the brilliant start of the show! From start to finish we were all swept away with the music and vocals performed all night long by Mike Love and his Beach Boys Band. Fantastic memories of 60 years growing up with and listening to The Beach Boys!!

Our initial seats were in the Rausing Circle. The sound was truly dreadful and the band seemed too far away. I do realise that these were hardly top price seats but we did pay £75 each for them and feel this was far too expensive. My wife voiced our concern to a steward , and were going to leave the concert. We will never buy seats in the Rausing Circle again.

I was really looking forward to the gig having seen Jeff Beck a few times. He is one of my favourite guitarists. His band was superb and yet received little acclaim from Beck himself. I felt manipulated by the fact that Johnny Depp came on for several songs. My partner, friend and I had no idea who it was when he came on to the stage. He has no voice and his guitar playing was non-existent. He was given more acclaim by Beck then his deserving band. We didn't come to see a third rate actor with a dubious attitude to women, I wonder what Beck's band thought about it, mumble his way through a number of songs, without doubt the biggest weakness of the evening. Beck's playing was superb as usual. Next time, Mr Beck, tell us beforehand who is coming to play then we can make a decision as whether we will come to watch you.

What a stunning sound and vision performance. The music is beautiful, the musicians and singers outstanding, the photography stunning, and much of it truly out of this world. It was a surreal and beautiful experience, and I am really grateful we were able to attend. It highlighted that our planet is really a massive space station, and we who live on board have a duty of care both to the planet and to our fellow inhabitants.

My first time going to a Keane Concert at the Royal Albert Hall. What a dream come true to see my all time fav group and to finally hear them perform 1) Nothing In My way, 2) A Bad Dream , 3) She Has No Time , 4) Everybody Changing , 5) Bedshaped , 6) Disconnected , 7) Silenced By The Night , 8) Is It Any Wonder ? And Somewhere Only We Know and some of their new songs from their new album !!! Best alternative rock concert that I have been and I can’t wait to see them again !!! Thanks for coming to England !!!

It was good but it could have been great. The support was really poor. Why didn't he use someone from Newcastle not drag someone from the Caribbean via New York? That isn't the reason that he lost a Star. One reason was that, as the drunk in the row in front told me, Mark has lost his voice. The other reason was he didn't sing Sultans of Swing. I still cant believe it!
